Electro-acoustic guitar with NEX body shape that is a popular model, favourite of those who prefer a gloss finish with their solid cedar tops and mahogany back and sides. This original Takamine body is a scaled-down Jumbo at heart and it has a silky balance to the tone that supports vocals beautifully. The turquoise eagle 12th fret inlay pays homage to Takamine's legendary Sante Fe series. The instrument includes Takamine’s proprietary CTP-3 Cool Tube preamp system. The dual-channel CTP-3 provides low-voltage tube tone, variable from bright and brilliant to thick and warm, three band EQ with semi-parametric midrange, auxiliary input and volume (for use when a second pickup is added), and an onboard chromatic tuner. Other features include a mahogany neck fitted with a rosewood fingerboard. Natural colour design.
